THE JA1LER's EXPLANATION.
Jailer Fols and his son. who acts as
chief turnkev, were much depressed this
evening over the event of the day. Mr.. Folk
was asked the way in which Lingg had kept
ths dynamite cap from the eyes OF his
keepers. He said the only way he could
account for it was that Ling. had secreted
it in his hair. which was remarkably bushy.
or in part of his person indelicate to men
ton. No other explanation was possible
as he was stripped to the skin yesterday
while his clothes were being thoroughly ex-
amiEed. Regarding the manner of suicide
Folz said: 'The cap is between one and one
and half inches long: is made OF copper
and the outer ED is plugged with piece OF
lead. The copperfo at least half an inch
is filed with dynamite, then small
portion is filled with Illuminating powder.
Into this powder runs a fuse. In my
opinion Lingg while lying In bed reached
out his hand back from his table, lighted
the candle then placed the cap in his
mouth with the fuse outward. TO this be
placed the candle and mortal wound re-
suited"
THE SHERIFF NOTIFIES THEM.
Shortly after s O'Clock Sheriff Matson
ca me to the Jail. His mission was twofold.
He wanted to give personal notice to Spies.
Engel. Fisher and Parsons that they would
have to suffer the extreme penalty OF the
law. He also wanted to see that his
deputies were so placed that all unauthor-
izrd people should be kept from the vicinity.
When the Sheriff went into the cell room he
was accompanied by Deputies Price, Turner
and Gilpen. The quartette staid in the cell
room about twenty minutes: The Sheriff
men showed any s'grs OF breaking
down. 1t was at 1925 o'clock that
the Rev. DR.. Bolton OF the First
Methodist church called on Parsons. His
visi, lasted about three minutes, and his
efforts to get Parsons to considerspiritual
matters were Of 10 avail. At $40
O'Clock Spies, Fisher aud Eng:l we're taken
from the rooms in which they had baae
farewell to their relatives and consigned to
their cells. These were soon closely
guarded. An armed deputy stood in front
Of each barred door. Inside the cell OF
each prisoner was a lantern while table
was placed outside and on this was

hallway by armed guards. She had with
her a lady friend. Approaching the door
which leads to the Jail yard she demanded
permission to proceed. This was denied
her by the Deputy Sheriff: who was acting
under direction of Sheriff Matson.
But must go to see my husband " ex-
claimed Mrs. Parsons.
You cannot" WAS the firm reply. Then
the dusky wife OF the Anarchists threw up
her hand and fel! to the tiled floor in dead
faint. 1t took over twenty minutes to
bring her to consciousness, but when this
was donshe was escorted from the building.
Parsons was informed Of the episode.
BOMB DISCOVERY.
About O'Clock tonight q bomb was
found by Thos. Maloney in the rear Of the
residence OF James Brayton, on Yale near
Sixty-third street, in Englewood. The
bomb consisted of piece OF gas pipe
twelve inches long and about two inches in
diameter filled with pieces OF iron and a
substance supposed to be dynamite. Mr..
Brayton was one of the jurors who con-
victed the Anarchists. He said to re-
porter tonight that he did not fear any
organized attack, but believed trouble
might be anticipated from eranks.' He
had received several threatening letters
since the sentence was pronounced On the
Anarchists, and has consulted with refer
erence to them with Chief Ebersold, States
Attorney Grinuell and Captain Setback.
Two officers we're detailed to gua9d his
house.

CLOSING SCENES.
Cook COUNTY JAIL, CHICAGO, November
10, 2 a. NAT o'clock change was
made in the death watch. Deputy Hartke
had been guarding Spies since O'Clock. He
reported that he had quite long talk with
Spies and declared he had no reason to be
afraid and then launched forth in
TRADE against the courts. At IL
O'Clock Spies lay down On his cot and
closed his eyes but did not sleep. Several
times he got up for a drink OF water. but
his every movement betokened q firmness
which was astonishing. So it was with the
rest OF the Anarchists. Parsons had the
nerve to entertain his guard with songs.
His fortitude was the wonder of u who
heard him. Between ! and g O'Clock
the Sheriff and his assistants tested
the gallows. Heavy bags OF sand were
attached to the ropes, aud the traps were
sprung. The machine worked to perfection
and in all respects was satisfactory to the
authorities. Then an unusual quiet pre-
vailed in the Jail. The only noise in the
cell room was the low voices Of n few
deputies, the turning of a key in a lock and
the rapid ticking OF the telegraph instru-
ment, which was telling the world OF the
Ia at hours of the four Anarchists.
